The NZMCA's goal is to be the foremost authority on all things Motor Caravanning in New Zealand.

To achieve this goal we will:

1. Promote the operation of privately owned motor caravans in New Zealand.
    
2. Furnish technical assistance in the construction, maintenance and operation of motor caravans.
    
3. Foster good fellowship and enjoyment of motor caravanning amongst members.
    
4. Promote and arrange rallies, displays, exhibitions, seminars, lectures and discussion.
    
5. Provide, establish and manage workshops, canteens and any other facilities for the use and benefit of members and prospective members.
    
6. Print and publish magazines, reports and other documents for the benefit of members.
    
7. Monitor central, regional and local government legislation and make representations thereon where considered necessary.
    
8. Encourage and foster road safety, safe driving and courtesy.
    
9. Obtain better terms in matters relating to motor caravan ownership and operation including road charges and taxes, license fees, insurance, registration and purchase discounts.
    
10. Purchase, prepare, import, sell, lease, hire and otherwise deal in such property as will foster motor caravanning.
     
11. Encourage and foster approved waste disposal practices.

Members are committed to the following code of conduct:

1. Treat others with respect and courtesy wherever you are.
    
2. Be a considerate and safe driver. Obey NZ road safety rules, and pull over to let others pass.
    
3. Keep and leave your camp site clean and tidy – perhaps even cleaner than you found it.
    
4. Dispose of black and grey wastewater and rubbish in a sanitary and approved manner.
    
5. Avoid causing visual or noise pollution, e.g. only use generators, stereos etc at appropriate times during the day and don't hang washing out in places that may offend others.
    
6. Park your vehicle with safety in mind, in case of fire or flooding. Three metres from other vehicles or inhabited buildings is recommended.
    
7. Observe fire restrictions. Use built fireplaces and portable BBQs if you wish to cook outside.
    
8. Comply with local animal control by-laws. Keep your pets under control and pick up after them.
    
9. Be discreet when choosing an overnight parking spot - consider how the surrounding neighbours may react.
    
10. Respect restrictions for length of stay - do not overstay your welcome. If asked to move on, do so gracefully.
     
11. Offer to pay for facilities used. Water, power, waste disposal, road and ground maintenance all cost money.
     
12. Do not demand discounts or special treatment using the Association name.
     
13. Abide by NZMCA regulations.

Non-compliance with this code of conduct is deemed to be conduct detrimental to the Association – membership may be suspended or revoked after due investigation.
